The Spellforged Magus
C55/100Web serial by Xiphias
The world didn't end with fire or ice. It ended with a rain of blood and a bureaucratic apology memo from the rest of the galaxy. Enzo had always been a daredevil — snowboarder, rock climber, martial artist, skydiver — until an accident put him on a quieter path crafting bespoke jewelry. Then came the rain. With it came evidence that humanity wasn't alone, and that magic was very real. The dead now rise as Eaters: magically evolving, mana-sucking undead with a taste for hearts and brains. Enzo's only guide is a cryptic Universal Training Guide that refuses to answer questions until you're already figuring things out for yourself. He'll master spells, craft magical equipment, protect the people he loves — and eventually find the people responsible for that apology memo.
